Henry and James Loyd were neighbors in Frederick Co. Virginia in the 1750's and 60's.? Many have assumed, reasonably, that they were brothers.? Unfortunately, though, the birth years of record for them are 1709 and 1735, respectively.

Henry, James and John Loyd were all members of Ketocton Baptist Church in neighboring Loudoun Co.

There is circumstantial evidence that David Loyd, father of Henry, bought the land that James was eventually granted, providing another bit of circumstantial evidence of kinship.? Perhaps Henry and John were brothers and James was John's son and Henry's nephew.

Hey I'm Lauren Lloyd, I'm a 17 year old and I am very intrested in finding out some information about my family's history. I go to a family reunion once a year but everytime i ask someone they tell me the same thing. I want facts details I wanna know who of my family was in any war. Do we have any famous people in our family. Do we have protesters or rich or poor people in our family do we ... I wanna know my familys history and I want to be proud to share it with whomever. So please if you can help me out. Thanks.

I'm sure you will find plenty of people willing to help around here. Family history, also known as genealogy, is often about searching and solving mysteries, and people who are interested in it love a challenge!

The way to begin is to start a family tree. You can download free software to do this (called Personal Ancestry File) from FamilySearch.org or you can buy software called FamilyTreemaker from a store that sells software and computers. This is the easiest way to organize all the information.

They you start filling it in. Start with your parents - when and where were they born and when did they get married. Find out the same information about their parents - your grandparents. If you are lucky, they can even tell you the same information about their grandparents, who were your great-grandparents.

Then start searching. You can enter your greatgrandparents name in a google search, along with the place where they lived, and see if anyone else has already researched them. You can also enter their names in a search feature on FamilySearch.org and find out if someone has already prepared their family tree.

If not, you might ask at your public library if they subscribe to Ancestry.com. You can do searches on that as well. That will tell you all the times they appeared in census records or military records, if they have been published. If you are really lucky, your library will have a family history section where they can give you a lot more help.

Well, that should get you started. Be sure to let us know how you are doing and feel free to ask questions any time!

I received a very extensive family history from a distant family member (cousin of Lloyd). It goes from the earliest ancester in the list below all the way to my little brother and myself and our children. I'd be more than happy to share. It's very much the same as "motormouth42" above except that while I was always told that we're from Wales, John was actually born in London. I'd love to find the family line before John Lloyd 1704 of course that goes without saying I guess. Thanks, Ken Lloyd

My father is an Alford by surname but prior to 3 or 4 generations ago there was a name change either by adoption or birth out of wedlock from Loyd to Alford. My father has only two matches, one is another Alford (cousin, living in same area) and the other is Debbie Loyd's brother who has posted. Her lineage goes from California back to Ohio then back to Yorktown, VA in the 1600s. We think the branching off of the Loyds occurred somewhere in the late 1600s to early 1700s. My ancestors went from Yorktown to Dunns Township, Franklin County, NC...we think.
